Code

Inline Code

Use console.log() to print to the console.

The printf() function in C is used for formatted output.

Inline code with backticks: `code`

Code Blocks

JavaScript

// JavaScript example
function fibonacci(n) {
  if (n <= 1) return n;
  return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
}

const result = fibonacci(10);
console.log(`Fibonacci(10) = ${result}`);

Python

# Python example
def quicksort(arr):
    if len(arr) <= 1:
        return arr
    pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
    left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
    middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
    right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
    return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

numbers = [3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 1]
print(quicksort(numbers))

Bash

#!/bin/bash
# Bash script example
for i in {1..5}; do
    echo "Iteration $i"
done

# Function definition
greet() {
    echo "Hello, $1!"
}

greet "World"

Go

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Go example
    messages := make(chan string)

    go func() {
        messages <- "Hello from goroutine!"
    }()

    msg := <-messages
    fmt.Println(msg)
}

Rust

// Rust example
fn main() {
    let numbers = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

    let sum: i32 = numbers.iter().sum();
    let product: i32 = numbers.iter().product();

    println!("Sum: {}, Product: {}", sum, product);
}

SQL

-- SQL example
SELECT
    users.name,
    COUNT(orders.id) AS order_count,
    SUM(orders.total) AS total_spent
FROM users
LEFT JOIN orders ON users.id = orders.user_id
WHERE users.created_at > '2024-01-01'
GROUP BY users.id
HAVING COUNT(orders.id) > 5
ORDER BY total_spent DESC
LIMIT 10;

LaTeX / Math Formulas

Inline Math

The quadratic formula is $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$.

Einstein’s famous equation: $E = mc^2$

The derivative of $f(x) = x^2$ is $f’(x) = 2x$.

Euler’s identity: $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$

Block Math (Display Mode)

The Gaussian integral:

$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi}$$

Maxwell’s equations in differential form:

$$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}$$

$$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0$$

$$\nabla \times \mathbf{E} = -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}$$

$$\nabla \times \mathbf{B} = \mu_0 \mathbf{J} + \mu_0 \varepsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}}{\partial t}$$

The Schrödinger equation:

$$i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi(\mathbf{r},t) = \hat{H}\Psi(\mathbf{r},t)$$

A matrix example:

$$\mathbf{A} = \begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} \end{pmatrix}$$

Summation and product notation:

$$\sum_{i=1}^{n} i = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$$

$$\prod_{i=1}^{n} i = n!$$
